Hello Summer Release from Honey Bee Stamps! (VIDEO + GIVEAWAY!)

5 Jul

Good evening!  I hope you’ve had a wonderful holiday weekend and are ready for a little shopping!  The Hello Summer release from Honey Bee Stamps is now available and it is full of must-haves!  Stamps, dies, stencils, patterned paper pads, embellishments, plus a fabulous new glue pen and holder!  You can find the new release here!  And today I have a quick video to share using one of my favorite new products!  You can watch the video below or over at my YouTube channel!

I just adore the A7 Beach Scene Coverplate die and I paired it with a variety of cardstocks to create this simple but striking card!

Beach Scene Coverplate Die by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Honey Bee Stamps

I die-cut the cover plate die with different cardstocks including a white and gold glitter cardstock for a little texture variation. Then I applied adhesive to an A2 base and paper-pieced the cardstock together.  The die cuts an A7 base but I decided to keep mine to an A2 size so I trimmed the overhang after all the pieces were adhered.

Next I added the palm tree and seabirds die-cut with cardstock from the Beach House Builder add-on set.  I used the new Precision Tip Glue from Honey Bee Stamps and it’s awesome!  It dries clear and matte and the fine tip is perfect for small images!  I also love the new Glue Holder!  I have a velcro dot on the bottom of the holder and on my desk.  When I’m not recording a video I keep the holder attached securely to my desk.  The top of the glue pen fits so securely in the glue holder that I can unscrew it with one hand when working which makes things so efficient!

I added a sentiment stamped from Sea Breeze and finished the card with white gel pen accents and a little crystal glaze on the coconuts!  And now I’d love to transport myself to that tropical beach for the next week! 😉

And that’s it for today!  I’ll have more to share later this week but I hope my card inspired you and I’d love to know your favorite products from the Hello Summer release!!

To celebrate the Hello Summer release, I’m personally giving away a $25 gift card to the Honey Bee Stamps store!  To enter, leave a comment letting me know your favorite product from the new release before 11:59pm ET Friday, July 10th, 2020!  The winner will be emailed and will have 48 hours to claim their prize before I select a new winner!  Good luck! 😉 

Thanks so much for visiting and have a fantastic day!

    Love “Raise a Glass”. It’s a party stamp
    that is appropriate for any time of year.
    Great to have the stamp and stencil,
    along with the die cut. Your tropical
    scene is great. thanks for sharing
